I can't be arsed to read this whole thread, I asked if you had a question and you used it ask about the plural of sheep. Ask me a real one.

If I need further information on the issue, I'll go to the appropriate resources, not some random on a football message board.

Don't assume people don't know the issues, simply because they don't engage in what you think is an appropriate way.

Oh, I'm sorry. I was lured into thinking we were having an actual conversation.

You're missing quite a chunk with that version, such as the media involvement, as well as the work done by many that came before. Some seem to get a feel good sensation by talking about her as if she's Mother Teresa and assuming anyone that strays from the media driven version must be ignorant of the facts and someone to be preached at.

I pointed out some of the implications, and I've yet to see any meaningful reply on here.

Okay, take her off the table.

Is climate change going to be in the spotlight like it is? No.

Are the implications of climate change still going to be there? Yep.

Getting the media on board was exactly the point, it's why she held protests and got people her age on side. She knows the power the media carry and she's using it brilliantly. She's on every channel at the moment and, therefore, so is her message.

Sorry. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

I'd get the sack cloth and ashes on, but I don't want to add to atmospheric pollution to make the ash, and it'd create breathing difficulties. Them monks have a lot to answer for.

Thinking about it, weren't they the teachers of their day too? :emoticon-0176-smoke

And that kind of summarises your problem. :emoticon-0105-wink:

Do you think it is subjective? I mean, she's making social media posts, she's doing interviews and speaking at events where there are cameras. I don't think it's fair to say she's doing this in spite of the media, she knows they're watching and scrutinising her, but she also knows that they'll put what she says out all over the world.
